Does Nicotine Cause A Change In The Stool Color?

Hello, how nice you re interactive. This seems to be a great resource. I just did a usual wikapedia search for the following question: Can nicotine use cause a change in color of stool? I was a non-smoker for 10 months and started vaping 10 days ago, with nicotine, and my stool, while not quite black, is very dark now.Any info would be appreciated, Best, Shawn James (Toronto)

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Nicotine does not generally cause changes in stool color. Very small amounts get in. BUT various changes in daily routine can cause ulcers and bleeding and blood breakdown is black and this can be quite serious.

Thank You!
